Worked exactly as it should have!!You can see it under clothes though, so keep that in mind if you are looking for something more discreet.Very comfortable. Helps back pain.I was worried about buying this because of all the reviews talking about how the Velcro gives out, but that hasn't been the case for me. I bought this belt when I was 20 weeks pregnant for back support and I am still using it now, post partum, for belly support after having a C-section. (My OB GYN flat out recommended that I wear this band, rather than the one that the hospital provided.) Granted, during pregnancy, I did not wear this band every day; I wore it when I had to lift anything heavy or when my back was hurting. Post C-section, I am wearing it all day, every day, so I will update my post later if I notice any issues with the Velcro.My only complaint is that this belt is itchy against bare skin. I highly suggest wearing a thin layer underneath it.P.S. I don't bother with the top strap. I just don't think it really adds anything.I wish I had this belt for my first pregnancy back in 2017! I saw this exact belt at Macy's, but thankfully I found it here for a much cheaper price. It was very comfortable and easy to adjust. It was a lifesaver for my second pregnancy.Its pretty good but I only got to use it once or twice when I started to get bigger. But my baby was pretty low throughout my entire pregnancy that it was just so uncomfortable even with the support brace on. I even told my doctor and nurses and they told me there was nothing else to do beside trying to take a rest every now and then, but that was always hard for being a cna. So hopefully I get to try it out again with my next one and hopefully it won't sit so low.This belt works well. Its a little uncomfortable, but does the job of support. However it only last a month before starting to wear (and i only used it for walks for 30 minutes and if i was cleaning). I had to start wearing it everyday as I entered my 9th month and both the first step and second step are ripping apart at the seems and wont last me my last 4 weeks. :(I love this thing! I was working as a waitress up until week 34 and the long shifts running around were pretty uncomfortable by the end. I bought this, wore it over a tank that I wore under my maturnity pants and didn't have a hassle having to take it on and off when peeing, though it did have to be readjusted once or twice throughout the day. It definitely eased pressure, plus it made my baby bump more pronounced under my non-maturnity work shirt, making it more obvious I was pregnant and not just putting on weight.The only issue I had with it was that it seemed to put too much pressure on my bladder and made me pee- or at least have the urge- even more often than I already was.This product really does work. I was very hesitant to buy a belly belt because I wasn’t sure how helpful it would actually be. If you are like me. Just buy the dang thing. I went to Target and Walmart looking for one and they were all about $40. I didn’t want to make the investment for something I didn’t think I would use. So I kept waddling around for an extra couple weeks. I work 11hours, and I probably spend half the time on my feet so by the end of the day my back and belly were pretty sore. Well the first time I put it on at work I stopped waddling and I was walking around a lot faster than I had in a couple weeks. Now this is not a miracle product but it does give you support and it relieves the strain you put on your back and pelvis. I am still a little sore at the end of the day, but I work on my feet for a lot of hours. I definitely will not spend a day at work without it. Highly recommended. And at the time of my purchase I paid $16. Beats target and Walmart.
